I walked out on the porch an' I hollered
An' dogs An' them An' them dogs come out under the house barkin'
An' them An' them dogs come out from under the house
They we was goin' coon huntin' knew we was goin' coon huntin'
An' dogs An' dogs
We started huntin', oh, we was havin' a fine time
John Newbanks was a great American. He didn't believe in shooting no coons outta no tree, it was against his...upbringin'. He taught us from first (?)...from the day we were born 'til the age we could listenin' to him. Give everything a sportin' chance
Give a sportin' chance
Whatever you do, give it a sportin'
An' dogs An' dogs An' them dogs out from under the house barkin'
We huntin' We started
An' dogs We started huntin', oh, we was such a fine time
When you free a coon, hold the dogs and cut the tree down, or either climb the tree and the coon jump in amongst the dogs.
Give him a chance him a sportin' chance
Whatever you do, it a sportin' chance
An' them An' dogs An' them come out from under the house barkin'
Give him a sportin'
An' dogs come out from under the house barkin'
